The video in situation 4 seems to not be working. It’s just not there for me
Thanks for pointing that out! It’s been fixed now.
I have a question. In situation 4, there is a phrase ‘ごめん。俺おれ、友達ともだちと食たべる’ so how can I distinguish that its one friend or more than one.
友達 can mean either “a friend” or “friends.”
In a context like this, it usually means “a friend.”
If the speaker wants to make it clear they mean “friends,” they might mention how many people are coming.
If you’re not sure how many friends they mean, you can just ask them.
Thanks. Like in some phrases, there are some words which by reading them seems to be singular but in their translation they are more than one (in quantity). This makes me confuse. But anyways thanks for clarification
No problem at all.
I understand it can be confusing.
Feel free to ask us anytime you’re unsure — you’ll get the hang of it in no time!
